Yes they should address that issue. My AFPDeluxe has a serial number (?) right on the computer screen. That number I think is your copy no. Anyway They know I bought it...paid for the thing and should at least provide one more cable so you could have 2. I would even go for keeping the one I got (if I am carefull about static it,s ok) and they could furnish me a 2nd one for a NOMINAL FEE. It would be hard anyway for the average person to pirate this kind of stuff. I will be calling OMP and Ikarus both sometime in the future about this. Regards Capt,n
